We were visiting Grinnell College in central Iowa. It was 92 degrees, and we were all baking in the sun as we took a walking tour of the campus. But this squirrel had it figured out. He sprawled himself against the relatively cool bark of this tree, enjoying what shade was to be had. Staring at me with a glassy look, he did not seem phased when I turned paparazzi on him.
Adding to the humor of the moment were these Dr. Seuss -like "sweaters", adorning the trees in this little park on campus. It made me chuckle to see this chillin' Grinnellian and these multi-colored tree adnorments.
